Anyone else doing the Blackburn ITT series over winter? 2 laps of Yarra Boulevard (E and F grade 1 lap) once a month.

I raced E grade in the first race of the series on my road bike sans any aero gear but since then i've picked up a cheap time trial bike (picked it up for a half ironman early next year, but it'll now see more TT use) so i'm interested to see what kind of time i can pull out over the 2 laps on a tt bike compared to my normal road bike.

Thanks. I got 6th in D with 39.21. Broke the 40 minute barrier which was the aim. Had 'fun'. Now have to find some more speed. First I'll start with some racing tires. Am thinking Continental Grand Prix TT. They are the same construction as the GP 4000 s but with less tread. You get less mileage out of them but you save 25 grams. Vittoria tires have no puncture protection (neither does the Continental Supersonic) which seems stupid for amateur racing with no support car.

Two laps from Walmer st to the roundabout just before the bridge over the Eastern Freeway. They don't use the segment between the freeway and Chandler Highway, presumably because it would be more dangerous to put a turn-around there.
